Coker in good position after A-Day woes
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- It made sense for Nick Saban to begin his post A-Day news conference with a caveat. After what everyone had seen that Saturday afternoon, a reasoned voice was needed, and Saban stepped to the podium to deliver his own sense of perspective.

“Nobody ever has a bad spring game,” Alabama’s head coach told reporters. “Let’s start with that.”

Fourteen practices behind closed doors led to a great deal of expectation surrounding A-Day, where the biggest question was, of course, at quarterback.

“Blake had a really good spring, and he did a really good job in the scrimmages,” Saban said when asked to measure the performance of his quarterbacks, again attempting to weigh a poor spring game against a previously solid spring. “I thought in the game he was trying to speed everything up a bit ... It’s like when a baseball pitcher tries to throw the ball a little harder and all of a sudden he can’t throw a strike.”

In other words, the pressure got to Sims. Though Saban would raise some valid points about how the setup of A-Day robbed Sims of some of what made him an effective quarterback, the bottom line was unavoidable. Sure, wearing a no-contact jersey kept Sims from taking full advantage of his athleticism to escape the pocket and buy time. But, to be fair, it also removed the pressure of facing a threatening pass-rush.

“There’s a lot of things [Sims] could do to be an effective quarterback that he didn’t do in this game today,” Saban explained before changing directions. “We recruited a guy. Blake knows this and Blake embraced the guy before the game. They're going to compete through the summer and through fall camp.”

Ah, Jacob Coker.

If there was a bright spot amid the sloppy offense Saturday, it was the 6-foot-5 quarterback on the sideline wearing a crimson polo and camouflage hat. ..

In a way, Coker went to A-Day with the possibility of seeing just how far the other quarterbacks had come. He might have been worried that if someone stood out, they could carry a lead into the offseason that would be hard for him to overcome.

But Coker had to leave A-Day feeling good about his chances. Nothing he saw there should have scared him. Hearing Saban mention him afterward in regard to the quarterback competition should have only reaffirmed his standing as a favorite to replace McCarron.

Well, he'd dang better be the replacement or we're screwed!

I know everyone is all fired up about Coker being part of the team but I'm withholding my opinion of him until I see him on the field in pads.

For me, it's wishful thinking.   

But I'm with you, I want to see him play.

Fall practice is a very short time to come up to speed at the most important position on the field. I would be very surprised if he sees the field before the third game.

If that's a bet, count me in for 5 e-creds.  Unless he's injured (again), I think he'll see the field against WV.

I expect the QB battle to go into the first few games of the season like it did with AJ and Phillip Sims three years ago. May the best man win!

Sims might be a game ahead of Coker so he will have to work hard to win the job. Now if Blake is a real team player and Coker wins the job, then we have 2 QB's that can run this team no matter what and the 2nd line of opposition will as strong as the 1st team IMHO. RTR!

If with Chech here. As long as he doesn't get hurt, we start in wildcat, or he gets abducted by Duron Carter, I'm betting he takes the first snap against WV.
